freight train on the Philadelphia q Bal
timore company's line baltimore &
Ohio exploded in front of the passen-
ger station in this city at s o'clock this
morning, killing one man and seriously
injuring several Others-one of them ia
tally. The air was filled with flying
pieces of iron and timber and scalding
water. A number of persons were
standing on the station platform and
several of them were badly scalded or
cut with flying missiles. One man, a
carpenter, employed on the road, resid-
ing in Baltimore, whose name no one
ply, aged twenty-One, telegraph
operator of this city, was SO badly
scalded and injured that his death is
mOmenJarily expected.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis.,, June 7.-After the
disastrous trial of Murphy in the box at
Milwaukee the first game of the season
Manager Devine, of the home team, had
kept him in the field until to-day, when
he was put in to pitch against the st.
PaulS. Nobody was disappointed ex-
cept probably his manager when the
first three st. Paul men at bat took first
on called balls, and were all sent over
the home plate by ball from the
pitchers hands thrown six feet over the
first baSeman'S head. Out of the seven
teen runs made by st. Paul nearly all
were attributable to Murphy's poor play,
consisting of three wild pitches, two
batters hit by pitched ball, two fielding
errors and six men given bases on balls.
Barring the listlesS play of Stevens at
right and Murphy's farcical pitching.
the home team did good work and should
have made better showing than the
score indicates. There is feeling that
Manager Devine favors Murphy to the
detriment of the club and that feeling
has existed long time. There is also
widespread feeling that the Eau Claire
club is strong enough to win if handled
rightly. Ted Sullivan has been called
away and cannot take the Eau Claire
management. Score:

=. DULUTH, Mimi, June 1.-THE game
to-day was easily won by Minneapolis
on account of errors by the home team
and the weakness of Lucas, who pitched
for them. The play throughout was
dull and uninteresting, there being few
good efforts of the fielders on either
side, and save the work of Kemmler at
third for the home team, there was little
meritorious play. TucXerman pitched
a fairly good game, but Lucas was badly
out OF shape in the first of the game,
although he got together a little better
toward the end. Daley, the new umpire,
showed bad judgment regarding balls
several "a i places. Quinn made couple Of Of
bad errors at second, giving the visitors
the advantage each time. Duluth re-
ceiyed beating in the first two innings
and never recovered. The game was
the most unsatisfactory seen here this
season. Score:

Philadelphia Times.
Rumors were floating thick and fast
last night about big base ball deal be-
tween the Philadelphia and New York
clubs. 1t has been known that New
York would like to have BaStian to
cover second base, and one of the ru-
mOrs was to the effect that he and one
of the PhillieS' batteries were to be
traded for O'Rourke and money con-
sideration. Another rumOr made

Wright was to secure.
President a. j. Reach, of the Phila-
delphia club, slipped out of town very
quietly Thursday evening last, and he
had not arrived home at late hour last
night. Mr.. Reach'S destination was re-
ported to be somewhere up the state on
club business, but the newspapers in
the cities represented by state assOcia-
ton clubs have failed to chronicle his
arrival in any of them. 1t is thought
certain that there is something in the
wind, and the base ball sharps will be
on nettles until the matter is cleared up
or President Reach returns.

Gaudaur's First Race.

New YORK World.
HAMILTON, Ont, June At is but a
few years since Jacob Gaudaur, now
ranking with the first oarsmen of the
world, was one of the many Indian lads
whose homes were on the shore Of Lake
Couchiching, pretty little lake 100
miles north of here, and up there his
growing fame is watched with much in
terest. His father, Francis Gaudaur, is
still bridge tender at the Narrows of
Lake Couchiching for the Northern rail-
way, and though there is other than In
dian blood in his veins, his appearance
does not indicate it. Francis Gaudaur's
mother was a French Canadian, and for
many generation. Jake is Canadian.
Gaudaur'S first race was rOWed at
DRILLS, town on Lake Couchiching,
about ten years ago. 1t was for double
scull inrigged skiffs, distance two miles.
Only two boats started, Jake and his
younger brother CharleSrowing against
two white men, also brothers, named
Mclean. The white men were fairly
and easily beaten, and though they
entered protest the money, $50, was
given to the Indian boys.

AN OBJECTIONABLE BILL.
Proposed Insurance Legislation that Might
Have Disastrous Results.

Said a member of the Legislature, yesterday,
in conversation with Journal reporter regard
ing the insurance bill introduced by Represen-
tative Ibach: st is one of the most objection
able bills that has been introduced during the
present session. It provides that in case of a
total loss by fire or otherwise. under an insur-
ance policy hereafter issued, the sum insured, as
stated in such policy, shall be the measure of
damages which the insured shall recover. In
other words, in provides that in case of total
loss. whatever the real value of the property de-
stroyed may have been, the insured shall be en-
titled to recover the full face value of the policy
similar law has been adopted in two or three
States with most disastrous results. The effect
has been to drive out all the reliable
insurance companies from those States
and to supply their places with wild eat COM
panies In addition to this, the rates Of insur-
ance have been increased. while there is prac-
tically no security for the insured. The crime
of arson is also largely increased in the States
where this law has been adopted. If the bill
should become law in State man might
have stock of goods worth So 000 place insur-
ance upon the same to that amount, reduce the
stock to So, 900, and if a fire should then take
place he would be entitled to recover So 000 or
So, 600 in excess of the loss. 1t certainly is to
the interest of every business man that this bill
should be defeated,

There was too much water coming down the
canal yesterday morning, and the employees at
the water works found it necessary to lower the
water in the race that furnishes part of the
power at the works William G. Bruce the en-
gineer, raised the guard-lock, andkhe water had
been passing out nearly half an hour, when he
noticed something sewed up in meal sack oc-
casionally coming to the surface. The bag
finally came to within reach of hook he had
procured, and he succeeded in drawing it out
of the water. The sack was securely
sewed, and he had to use his
knife to open it. It contained the dead BODY of
white child, probably a week or ten days old.
The body bore evidences of having been thrown
into the canal within the last few days The
face was perfect but the back part of the skull
was mashed in, showing that some inhuman per-
son had killed the child. sewed it up in the sack
and thrown it into the canal. The body was well
developed in every way, and all the indications
were that the child had been in sound health
when killed Ripley & Hedges took charge of
the body. Coroner Wagner was called, and aft
er examining the body returned verdict in &C.

ALWAYS IN ORDER,


That IS why we do not hesitate
again TO call your attention to our
great sale of MUSLIN UNDER
WEAR.
In this connection we wish to re-
marx that our stock of these goods,
as we announced them the other day,
though complete, does not preclude
us from having additions of every
novelty as fast as they come out.
Such is the case. We have added
to this stock since we last spoke
about it.
The weather has not been good,
and has doubtless kept many from
taking advantage of these great bar
gains who otherwise would.
Therefore it is that we again call
attention to this GREAT UNDER
WEAR SALE before we pass on to
other things.
